Psychology for Lasting Change

Dr Jamie Barnier

I’m a clinical psychologist based in north-eastern Melbourne who helps older adolescents and adults cope with overwhelming emotions and remove the need to numb negative feelings through food, alcohol, sex or drugs. I focus on addressing the root cause of the problem with the goal of creating happiness, peace and lasting change.

Why should i work with you

I have a doctoral degree in Clinical Psychology – the highest qualification in the field – and have worked clinically for over 15 years. That depth of experience means I know not just what works, but why.

My focus is on helping you to understand yourself at a deep level – not just managing symptoms, but identifying and working through the root causes of your difficulties.

I invest heavily in my own ongoing development – consulting with leading colleagues internationally, reviewing therapy recordings, and reading widely – so I can continue to refine what I offer.
